I am sick of this stupid forum stripping quotations from quoted posts. Is there a way to stop that from happening? It's so incredibly stupid, because it makes it damn near impossible to reply to a reply without losing context. It's idiotic. Surely our admins are not too stupid to realize this?
that which is unnatural. and what is unnatural you may ask? each other.
its about as clear as that glass window on the windex commercial that the guy walks into
Those are all assumptions. I completely disagree with you -- the only thing making someone unnatural to someone else is if those two do not get along.
Good thing only God is the ultimate Judge. We can speculate all we want, but it changes nothing. And to deny repentance of something that the heart is convicted of as sinful is bound to have repercussions, regardless of what it is.
I completely agree. It's a good thing, I think, that through all my prayer, God has led me to believe that he will still love me as I pursue a homosexual marriage. (Well, except for the fact that I'm trying to get a girlfriend first.)
In what manner does He behave?
I was referring to Floatingaxe and people like her's depiction of God, who believe that if I, and others like me, love others of the same sex in a marital relationship, that God will damn us to hell.
You have the commandments switched, Love God > Love neighbor.
The order in which I listed them is not the order in which I hold them. Obviously God comes first.
And yes it is a difficult thing to really dwell on, temporal actions = eternal consequences, but thats a whole different topic honestly.
Agreed.
Possibly because it could be seen as a mockery to His creation, His helper to man, which is woman, and vice versa.
I really don't see how. I see how male complements female (except you must overlook hermaphroditic organisms, which seem to be doing well, are they not?) but I don't understand how homosexuality could be construed as a mockery. Artificial insemination among lesbians is a mockery of God's creative design.
To say that a man going after another man insults God ... It's kind of like ... you have a choice between fruit and pizza for lunch. Choosing pizza, because you like it much more, may be not what God intended, but it's certainly not offensive to God: God created pizza. It seems -- especially to every single homosexual you'll ask, barring perhaps jawsmetroid and the few others who have been persuaded that it's bad -- that God had a hand in their gayness. Even science has realized that genetics plays some mysterious role.
between that and the whole procreation thing I think it defines it pretty well.
That's another assumption about what you think it should be defined as. You're appealing to tradition, and tradition can be (and has been: see slavery) wrong.
If their psychological problems caused them to go on killing sprees, why would God find that intolerable?
Completely irrelevant and poor analogy.
